he photo, taken Monday, shows White House counselor Kellyanne Conway perched on a couch in the Oval Office as President Trump stands behind his desk and representatives of a number of historically black colleges and universities gather around him.
Conway is kneeling on the couch. Other pictures of the same moment show she has her shoes on.
This has, of course, inflamed the (mostly liberal end of the) Internet.
THE HORROR.
SHE IS DISRESPECTING THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
HOW COULD SHE.
And so on and so forth.
This tempest in a teapot is, in a word, dumb. In two words: incredibly dumb.
[Kellyanne Conway kneeled on a couch. The Internet went insane.]
First of all, every party not in the White House likes to express shock and outrage at the way the other side is treating this hallowed job and office. Republicans were incensed when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama treated the Oval Office with slightly less formality than did Ronald Reagan, who, famously, always wore a suit coat in the Oval Office.
Obama puts his feet on the desk! Obama throws a football!
This is all par for the Internet outrage/partisan police.
It was dumb when Republicans leveled the charge of Obama and Clinton disrespecting the White House. It is equally dumb now.

I now know what a pommel horse is.
thanks! I don’t think I will ever use one.
(The hussey!)
I’ll change the comparison.
Would you see IVANKA sitting like that in the Oval Office? Point made.
It never occurred to me that an objection to haunches in the Oval could be turned now into a regional argument. Come to think about it, our culture was not entirely in the toilet during that era of “some sort of ‘southern lady’” and her grace, in public.
I can sit like that. ..and I’m 65 and female
Yes, Kellyanne just doesn't have the class and decorum we were used to when Moochie Obama was in the White House.
LOL! Get over it. I think she looks great. You wouldn’t be jealous of her body would you?
Do you understand that you are being used by the left-wing media? That you are a stooge? The left knows that conservatives like you absolutely drooled over the fact that Regan didn’t take his jacket off in the oval office. Absolutely drooled over it. So what did they do? When they were in power, they did the opposite so they would look younger, cooler, hipper. Now that they are out of power they attack our side for the same nonsense knowing that so-called conservatives like you will side with them against your own side. Alindky tactics. You fall for it.
Stop insulting us for having a different opinion than you. It’s allowed here.
That was the dress which looked close to Kellyanne’s.
The whole world knows that Trump met with rhe Presidents of Black Colleges. Everyone.

People like you make this entire website look foolish. I take it personally because I’m a longtime member and it embarrasses me.
I’m 64 and male and I’m not sure I could have ever sat like that.
She’s 50. Maybe it’s a yoga thing. I just can’t imagine how that position could possibly be comfortable. You can do it. Just because you can, would you ever want to?
You absolutely embarrass conservatives in front of the rest of the nation and you don’t even realize it.
No one in that photo seems to mind. Man she is a looker!
This calls for a Special Prosecutor!
